Paul Buchanan - Mid Air (The Blue Nile)

might be my favourite album of the decade.

First hunch is to vote for either Half The Word or Cars in the Garden. But of course it's like an entire song cycle, a Winterreise.

There were reasons, but forgot them.

I want to live forever.

His voice is absolutely spectacular here. Can't imagine standing there in the crowd.

wasn't he supposedly done with a new album? any news on that?
'meanwhile' is such a classic, would deserve a proper release...

He seems very nice

got the reissued 2x LP a few days ago, listening now :)

was hoping there would be some good stuff in the booklet, it’s basically a jumbo lyric book

rare paul sighting, and a new song!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_P0ZdvUV9s

“mid air”
“let’s go out tonight”
“snow” (new song!)
“happiness”

"Snow" is lovely. So nice to hear his voice with that orchestral backing. Pretty much confirms if I ever see him live, I'll weep throughout.

Thanks for sharing!! Keep watching for the encore, where they replay "Mid Air" (without audience coughing) and "Happiness."
